There's something awesome about fan catches that go beyond the normal realm of duty. The most famous one, I can remember, is the Bears fan who jumped down the tunnel to catch a random field goal. While that was certainly impressive, nothing can beat coming to the aid of a female in distress.

During a Spring Training game between the D-Backs and Brewers, Corey Hart smacked a ball deep into the "stands", but unfortunately it was right at an unsuspecting girl sunbathing the hill in centerfield. Lucky for her though, a very athletic Brewers fan was there to rescue her from a ball to the dome. The choppy video comes via Fan IQ....

I love how he shows the ball after the catch. Someone played High School Baseball! He better have at least got a number out of that, but of course he probably didn't. Who ever said chivalry was dead?!?!
